What is a First Grade
Teacher?
A first grade teacher is the leader of
children, none of whom look, act, think, behave, talk, or grow the same
way. They welcome their students, that
make up their class, who have loose teeth in their mouth, questions on their
mind, and Band-Aids on their knees.
A first grade teacher is able to
collect more things from their students during the first minute of school than
most grades could accomplish in a full day.
A few of the items shared might be a flower, wilted leaves, a homemade
cookie, a pretty stone, a note from mom, lunch money, or a book for show and
tell.
A first grade teacher is eager to
listen to the latest developments of every student’s life. They know when a family member has a
birthday, what sport each child plays, vacations that are planned, a brother or
sister who is a bother, or an event that caused disappointment.
A first grade teacher cleans glue off
the tables, picks up scraps from the floor, spends hours planning lessons,
spends a fortune on special projects, and gives all their attention to meeting
the needs of their unique class. They
leave after school exhausted with a headache but return each morning with a
warm smile on their face ready to greet each student all over again.
A first grade teacher brings joy to
their students each day throughout the year. They are devoted to
seeing that each student succeeds socially, emotionally, and educationally.
A first grade teacher often feels
unappreciated and overworked UNTIL found
on their desk, written in messy manuscript, they find a note with the deepest
feeling…I LOVE YOU!
First grade teachers
you ARE
appreciated!!
